I remember being in the VIP suite once with a rather tiddly Clayton Blackmore who said that Fergie's real 'enforcer' behind the scenes was McClair and the players were petrified of him.
Maguire Swore at Shaw: F**king Switch On
- Thread starter hmchan
- Start date
Yes he does
Ashley Young was a great captain if a limited player. You could say he didn't have enough talent but you really could not accuse him of not giving his absolute all, standing up for the team, and rallying the troops. He was a great captain in every way that lay within his power.
Shaw should have shouted at him yesterday when he didnt close Cantwell down at the edge of the box.
Massive pet hate of mine. Close the space and try and stop the shot!

I loved McClair. There was an interview a while back and he was reminded of a time the same interviewer started talking about music with him. He responded “Is this a fcuking music interview?” Not in any violent way, but that Scottish bluntness with profanity used happily.
That would have been great in a changing room. Acidic tongues with a sense of humour are great to cut bullshitters down to size.
I remember watching the Cup final against Millwall and it was obvious Wise was going all out to crock Ronaldo from the start. After a couple of very dodgy tackles and out of view of the main action, right in front of us, a certain Mr G Neville got hold of Wise and was obviously saying in no uncertain terms 'you'll have me to answer to if you carry on'.
Did Wise, who could start an argument in an empty phone box, laugh?
Wise was like i'll take Keane on, but please not Neville.
@John Keiler have you considered writing comedy sketches?

He could crush a grape when he was angry could our Gary
He just walked away, and behaved himself as far as I remember.

No, but I would take a hardened Premier League and England fullback over some keyboard warrior anytime.Please let me know when you take him on.
Think it was Wise that switched off allowing Ronaldo to come in behind him to score the important first goal with a header from a cross from Gary 'Boo' Neville.
Don’t really understand the point of this thread. I’m pretty sure that someone has yelled at Maguire to mark better or close the gap to an attacker.
How many goals have we conceeded in just last few weeks that you can say both of them were at fault? Post Euros hangover, they are sleeping for most of our games, and yet they both keep starting games.
He clearly wants to get ole sacked.
They are shit.
Partly their fault, but most should be Ole's for keeping selecting him and Maguire, and let fatigue (and complacency?) to set in. We have seen Shaw in his best, and it was really, really good but even best players need to have good amount of rest to keep performing.
All the problems eventually come back to Ole. We have been screaming to fecking have some accountability for their poor performances. I hope Shaw and Maguire cost him his job now.
Of course it all comes back to Ole. What does someone have to do to get dropped??? The alternative couldn't be possibly worse at this point could they? Good managers know how to use their squads and keep everyone sharp and motivated.
This is the problem with being pals and playing favorites with players. Fergie was loved by most of of his teams but the overriding emotion they ever talked about is fear of disappointing him and the wrath that could ensue. Vibes mean feck all and doesn’t create a cutthroat winning culture.
Good lad.
Mourinho said everything about him, it’s all clear
What has happened to Shaw he was elite the back end of last season and the Euros, now he's mediocre at best.
He deserves this sort of shredding, what’s happened to Shaw?
No accountability for performances at this club. Both should have been dropped a long time ago.
feck Mourinho. Shaw has been excellent for the entirety of Ole’s reign except this season.
I actually think Maguire gave Shaw a shout to let that ball run. The way Shaw turns to Maguire and puts his arms out
Shaw is a confidence player, can be world class but when he starts making mistakes he crumbles. He isn't tough mentally.
He was excellent for the entirety of covid then shit again with crowds
Who the hell is 'coaching' our defence? Someone asked me the other week if I'd take Bruce instead of Ole - I'd take Bruce in place of Maguire!
That's a rather large "except".
Maguire shouting anything at anyone was always ironic but to shout it at his fellow chuckle brother was always hilarious. They’re both as bad as each other.
Exactly, partly the players' fault but we've seen how good Shaw can be, surely he deserves some rest though. Ole didn't give him a rest when we had Brandon and he's still not doing it this season when we have Telles and Dalot. Typical of Ole though, he needs results so badly that he can't see risk playing anything but the strongest 11.
Also, how much of it is coaching! How many of these players would play better under a better regime!
Gives me Lukaku vibes, always blaming others even when it thier own fault.
Most of these players have played significantly better under this regime. Wouldn’t be surprised if they played even worse under another.
There are many other players who have had good Euros and who don't play as badly as them.
We are in November, these clowns are just fecking shite
Yes, but even if they have excuse, they simply shouldn't be playing and that's it.
Shaw was never that good. Ever.
Even at his best the praise he received was always ridiculously over the top. Comparisons to Roberto Carlos in the summer, he’s not fit to lace his boots.
A bang average player with an atrocious attitude who gets complacent every few months. No different to Pogba and Martial. Needs to be part of the upcoming purge which is long, long overdue.
Time to get quality full backs in like all top clubs do in modern football. Ours are trash. Just look at Walker and Cancelo - They just own their side. Dominance. We haven’t had that in a decade.

Chuckle brothers. Neither should play again under a new manager until they earn a place
